Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. It’s worth playing with the options in the Sound menu. We find that the Optimised mode, which adds punch and weight, is good for action movies, but for most general viewing, we are better served by the Standard mode.

The sound is relatively full-bodied by flatscreen standards, and there’s plenty of detail and clarity for everyday viewing. After running the THX Optimizer disc, we find the Q7F looks best with a few points taken off the Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness settings, Local Dimming switched to Low, and Auto Motion Plus and the Contrast Enhancer turned off. We start with the Eco Solution sub-menu and turn off every option. Environmental concerns aside, the power-saving options are too detrimental to picture quality. The QE65Q7F delivers all of the good things we’ve come to expect from Samsung’s QLED’s – punchy, vibrant, vivid and sharp images that pop from the screen and dazzle the viewer in the best possible way.What Samsung calls AirSlim, the Q70A has a depth of just 27mm and a bezel that measures just 12mm. It’s almost all-screen, making it perfect for popping on the wall, but if wall-mounting isn’t an option it also comes with a perfectly functional centre-mounted stand that allows it to be positioned pretty much anywhere, so there’s ample flexibility on that score. Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits) Colour Volume* - Genuine cinematic colour made from over a billion shades *Measured to DCI-P3 standard, certified by VDE Whatever the resolution, the Q7F handles motion well, but not perfectly. Here you have to choose between a slight soap opera effect and a bit of blurring, while Sony’s 2017 TVs manage to combine crispness and naturalism.

Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, Samsung forgot to bring the bass, which is an essential part of any self-respecting home cinema. Obviously, this bass deficiency can be easily rectified with the addition of a soundbar – something Samsung has more than pre-empted with its 2021 Q-series and A-series soundbar range. We prefer the Samsung with the motion processing turned off entirely, and the little bit of blurring you get certainly isn’t too off-putting. The mid-range model in Samsung’s 2021 4K QLED line-up, the Q70A is an elegant looking 4K option with a whole raft of features for home cinema, TV and gaming addicts alike. It’s also a considerably less expensive option than any of Samsung’s recently released Neo QLED Mini LED range.AI Sound (SpaceFit Sound, AVA, Adaptive Sound) - Never miss a moment with AI sound perfected for whatever you're watching, wherever you're watching it While the design is important, it’s nowhere near as crucial as performance. In the Q70A, Samsung has tried to create a TV that pleases all comers, whether they be movie buffs or next-gen gaming fanatics. So, does the Q70A, a TV that’s still within the realms of affordability for most people, really cover all the bases? Samsung Q70A: Key specifications Drop down to standard-def and the image is still watchable, with a degree of finesse and balance that would have seemed impossible on a screen this large just a few years ago. However, LG’s 2017 OLEDs are even better in this regard. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.

Dual LED. Powered by Quantum Dot - Samsung dual LED TV, powered by Quantum Dot balances colour for bolder contrast and a more lifelike picture, no matter what’s onHere we measured just over 23ms when in Game Mode, which is lightning-fast. Input lag doesn’t really need to be this low, and you shouldn’t be put off a TV that’s a bit slower, but the QE65Q7F is a lovely TV to play games on – the panel’s punch and vibrancy working well with computer-generated content, particularly from an HDR console. One area in which this TV (and every Samsung we’ve tested this year) remains unbeatable, is input lag – the time it takes for your inputs on a PlayStation or Xbox gamepad to be represented on-screen.
